Ning Yanshu skipped and hopped around Ning Wan like a happy little spinning top: "When Xiaoshu wasn't home, did Mom miss me?"
"Of course!" Ning Wan replied in an exaggerated manner, "Because Xiao Shu isn't home, Mom misses you so much that she can't even eat."
"That won't do!" Ning Yanshu was taken aback and immediately became extremely nervous: "Mom, you should eat your food properly."
Turning his head, he criticized Shen Fu, who was carrying his schoolbag and had just walked into the house: "Dad, why don't you supervise Mom?"
He was speechless for a moment, then smiled and admitted his mistake: "Yes, Dad was wrong. Dad will definitely supervise Mom's eating properly from now on."
Ning Wan stood to the side, covering her mouth and chuckling.
During dinner that evening, Ning Yanshu was still in high spirits: "Mom, Wang Zihao apologized to me today. He said he shouldn't have said those things to me last time."
Ning Wan placed a piece of meat into his bowl: "Did Xiao Shu apologize to Wang Zihao and say that he shouldn't have hit him?"
"Of course!" Ning Yanshu patted his chest proudly and said, "So we've made up and are good friends again!"
Ning Wan and Shen Fu were both amused by his arrogant expression.
After a while, Ning Yanshu said again, "Mom, Teacher Youzi said that the kindergarten is going on a spring outing tomorrow."
"A spring outing?" Ning Wan paused in her action of holding the bowl.
"Yes, it's a family trip. We're going to Disneyland with Mom and Dad..." Ning Yanshu looked at Ning Wan expectantly, then glanced at Chen Fu: "...Mom, can we go too?"
Seeing Ning Yanshu's expectant look, Ning Wan couldn't bear to disappoint him, so she agreed.
However, Shen Fu looked worried and hesitant to speak.
When it was evening and they were alone, Shen Fu finally voiced his concerns: "Wanwan, I'm worried."
Ning Wan patted his shoulder: "...Aman, I understand what you're afraid of."
Since returning, not only has Shen Fu been unable to stay calm, but Ning Wan herself has also been in a state of high tension at all times.
She dared not step out of the villa's gate, and never even went to the yard outside.
Besides Ning Yanshu and Shen Fu, the only other person present at the house was Yi Yue.
Shen Fu kept Ning Wan in the villa, trembling with fear. He was always worried that some unpredictable danger lurked in the shadows.
If they continue to be so suspicious for too long, they'll scare themselves to death before the mission takers even arrive.
Ning Wan knew very well that running away was definitely not the best solution.
She can stay at home for ten or twenty days.
What about the next ten or twenty years?
Missing every moment of the little book's growth means missing out on precious memories with family.
Must we be like a caged bird, forever deprived of freedom?
Ning Wan didn't want to live like that.
She grabbed Shen Fu's arm and promised, "I swear, I will stay by your side every moment tomorrow and never let myself be alone."
"What if?" Shen Fu was almost in tears. "What if an accident happens? What if we get separated? What if unforeseen circumstances arise? Can Wanwan guarantee that she will be safe and sound and will not encounter any danger?"
Thinking of this, Shen Fu's heart clenched instantly: "Wanwan, I'm so scared..."
"I finally found you and Xiaoshu after so much trouble. I can't afford to gamble, and I can't afford to lose..."
...
Seeing Shen Fu's strong reaction, Ning Wan sighed and had no choice but to give in for the time being.
When Ning Wan woke up the next morning, she was still thinking about how to persuade Shen Fu.
The moment I stood up, I suddenly felt a lightness in my body.
She turned her head and was horrified to find herself lying motionless on the bed.
Ning Wan panicked immediately.
She lay down and got up again, trying this repeatedly many times.
But the soul could never return to the body.
Suddenly, the body on the bed moved.
It slowly opened its eyes, revealing a confident smile.
At the same time, there was a knock on the door, and Shen Fu pushed it open and entered: "I'm sorry, Wanwan, I thought about it for a long time last night. I shouldn't have restricted your freedom."
“I’ve already had Yi Yue book the entire amusement park and arranged bodyguards on site. I’ll be by your side all day, so you…”
The sound stopped abruptly.
Shen Fu stared blankly at Ning Wan on the bed.
"What's wrong?" Ning Wan asked with a coquettish smile. "Why are you looking at me like that, Aman?"
It reached out to grab Shen Fu's arm, but he dodged it by turning to the side.
Ning Yanshu suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
"Mom and Dad, you're so slow!" he urged his father, then pulled his mother out of bed. "Hurry up, Mom, hurry up and get dressed. We're leaving!"
Seeing Ning Yanshu's enthusiastic and happy appearance, Chen Fu tightened his grip on his hand hidden behind his back.
In the end, she still didn't say anything...
...
The amusement park was bustling with activity, filled with joyful and happy smiles.
Balloons fluttering in the sky, dazzling fireworks—everything looked so beautiful.
Ning Wan floated in mid-air and saw Ning Yanshu smiling happily.
There were many security personnel stationed at the scene, and no suspicious persons appeared throughout the entire day.
Even after the spring outing ended and he was on his way home, Ning Yanshu still seemed reluctant to leave.
“That pirate ship was so much fun! Whoosh, whoosh, it flew up into the sky!” Ning Yanshu gestured excitedly as she spoke. “Wang Zihao was so scared he almost cried, but Xiaoshu wasn’t scared at all!”
Shen Fu wiped the sugar stains from the corner of his mouth with a tissue: "Yes, our little book is great."
Ning Yanshu chuckled shyly, then looked at her silent mother and asked, "Mom, did you think today was fun?"
Ning Wan, still on her phone without looking up, said, "It's alright, nothing special."
One sentence instantly vanished the pleasant atmosphere inside the car.
Ning Yanshu's smile froze on his face.
When they got home, Shen Fu carried him back to his room to sleep.
Lying in bed, Ning Yanshu anxiously clutched Shen Fu's collar: "Dad, did Xiaoshu do something wrong today that made Mom angry?"
“It’s not Xiaoshu’s fault, Xiaoshu did nothing wrong.” Shen Fu gently comforted him, “Mom is just feeling a little unwell.”
"Then..." Ning Yanshu hesitated, a sense of unease creeping into her heart: "Will Mom become the same as before?"
Ning Yanshu's sudden question left Shen Fu at a loss for words.
After a long silence, he comforted her, saying, "Don't worry, Dad will find Mom."
